Why can't the users take their questions directly to the LLM?

I'm getting Office Space vibes.

    of course they can, the key benefit here is its always tethered to being a career coach and has a memory of your career aspirations and it will pull insights from the conversation in a visual manner that no llm does today. I'm looking for feedback to improve it

      Put qualified humans in the loop. This LLM wrapper adds no value.

        ok thanks for the feedback, what do you mean by qualified humans like a human coach?

        • esafak 5 months ago

          Yes. It's the humans that add value, not the wrapper. LLMs can trivially remember you are with sessions, and create visualizations if you keep track of the numbers. But are the numbers reliable, and actionable? That also remains to be proven.

          Basically, value is created when you do something the buyer could not have done easily, and I'm not seeing that.

            i disagree, its hard to get hold of humans and you can derive value from an AI with the distilled knowledge of expert coaches. Ai will listen to you a human will refuse a meeting. So I think this is a bridge for someone with a small network or lack of human mentors.

            • esafak 5 months ago

              That's precisely why your incorporating them creates value. Your company has to do the hard work of making it easy to get expert help. Asking the LLM is easy; I can do that without you.
